He shut her down and she was left furious.

And later, when he broke down giving his eulogy, Linda was devastated when Janine went up to comfort him and no-one seemed surprised.

She walked out, devastated, but daughter Nancy was quick to follow.

“Are you seriously making this about you?” she said furiously. 

“Today’s about Tina. You could see he was struggling up there. 

“You could have just got up and given him a hug but you couldn’t do it, could you? Not even on a day like today.”

But Linda hit back: “I gave my life to this family, despite all the pain they caused him, all the pain they caused me. 

“But I’m still here, for him. And what do I get for it? That woman showing me up and nobody batted an eyelid. 

“I might be a lot of things, Nancy, but I don’t deserve that.”

Linda left the chapel and immediately went outside to drink more vodka.

And viewers are predicting fireworks now she knows who Janine is.

One wrote: “Linda Vs Janine I’m looking forward to it. #EastEnders.”

A second said: “Anyone else just waiting for Linda to slap the face off Janine.”

Another added: “It’s all gonna kick off once Linda and Janine get back to the Square #EastEnders.”
